Chapter 278 Escaping the door


    “…”


    Xiao Fangfang lowered her head and said nothing.


    Shi Hui didn''t say anything, and wiped Fu Mingxian''s mouth again, showing all kinds of affection. Fu Mingxian is very scary, mom! Can’t I see the sun tomorrow?


    After a while, Shi Huicai continued: "You have everything now. You have a career, fame, wealth, a family, a husband who loves you, and a lovely daughter. You are right to want to study more.


    But have you ever thought about it, you are 35 years old this year, and you will be 37 years old when you finish school. There are not many roles that female stars of this age can portray. Your transformation into comedy is great, but it is difficult to produce high-quality comedy. This drama of mine is definitely a work that can make you go further.


    You have listened to your mother for half your life, and you do whatever she says. Now you can''t make your own decisions? Don''t you have any ideas of your own? "


    "But, but on the right side..."


    "If you are afraid that the rightists will cause trouble, then you are worrying too much. Anyway, you are going abroad. How can they still go to the United States to find you? You will come back in two years. I don''t know what will change by then. China and Britain will have to negotiate. !”


    Shi Hui looked at her and finally said: "I found you. If anyone really makes things difficult for you, I will risk my life to protect you."


    "Sister Hui!"


    Xiao Fangfang also looked at her. Although she had a rough life, she was also proud of her achievements, but these were nothing compared to Shi Hui.


    Shi Hui stood up to the British Hong Kong government and was arrested and imprisoned!


    Women appreciate each other, this is not the fairy in the Little Red Book...


    "I, let me read the script first!"


    Xiao Fangfang finally relaxed, and Shi Hui laughed and took out the prepared script.


    ""The Love Between Ghosts"? You want me to play a ghost?"


    "I''ll let you play the role of the goddess. Let''s take it home and watch it. Your role is super interesting!"


    Afterwards, the two chatted for a long time, talking about their husbands, life, shopping for clothes and cosmetics, and it took a long time before they broke up.


    Fu Mingxian followed his mother out, always wondering: "Mom, why did you take me with you when we were talking about things today?"


    "Because you are important and you have made a contribution. Let''s go and buy you an ice cream."


    Shi Hui pinched her daughter''s cheek, Fu Mingxian frowned, I can also make meritorious deeds by eating!


    …


    Clearwater Bay studio.


    In the office, Chen Qi was writing an article for "Wen Wei Po". He was paid for his writing, 200 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words, which was better than nothing. It was all used to corrupt Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng.


    When Liang Jiahui set up a street stall, "Wenhui Po" also came to help him and opened a column for him called "Achievements with a Bright Pen".


    Each article has a few hundred words. Sometimes when inspiration strikes, he can write more than a dozen articles a day, at a cost of 200 yuan per 1,000 words. He continued writing for more than 20 years until the editor who invited him retired.


    "The dust has settled on the Spring Festival season, and "The Best Partner" dominates Hong Kong!"


    "Hong Kong society is changing, and the movie-going public is getting younger. The movies produced in New Art City are foreign-style and innovative, while Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest still cling to half-buried traditions. They deserve to be disliked by the audience.


    I have long said that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest should join forces, but I refused to listen. After the disastrous failure of the Spring Festival show, you will finally join forces now, open theaters to each other, and make each other''s films, but it is actually useless. If your production ideas do not change, you If you can''t beat Xinyi City, you''ll lose ugly at most..."


    Chen Qi has finished writing the article and will send it to Wenhui Po.


    He wandered downstairs and arrived at the post-production room next to the studio. Tsui Hark was inside.


    Without saying anything, the two of them sat down and watched the rough cut of "Orphans" together.


    The effect is pretty good. It has all the suspense and thriller atmosphere it deserves. It takes Esther''s strange behavior and his wife''s investigation as the main line, slowly unfolds, and finally reveals the truth:


    She is actually a sick adult Japanese, whose real name is Ishikawa Mio!


    Mio Ishikawa is great!


    After looking at the rough cut, Chen Qi nodded, affirmed, and said, "Director Xu, I have another movie here. Do you want to try it?"


    “…”


    Tsui Hark rolled his eyes and said, "Please! I''m still the director of Xinyi City. You come to me for one movie after another. How can I get along in the company?"


    "Anyway, you are already in the Cao camp and your heart is in the Han Dynasty. What is the difference between one film and two films?"


    Chen Qi came closer and said with devilish temptation: "And my movie has special effects. It needs the highest level of special effects!"


    Tsui Hark trembled.


    "I also want to find a Hollywood team to come over. Although it may only be a few seconds of footage, don''t you want to give it a try?" Tsui Hark trembled again.


    I couldn''t help but ask: "What show?"


    "It''s a ghost love story. I''m worried about how to shoot some shots. For example, how can the ghost''s body pass through obstacles in a natural and beautiful way? Oh, it''s really annoying!"


    As he spoke, he also made movements as if his body was going to pass through.


    Tsui Hark gives people the impression that he only shoots costume dramas, but that is not the case. He also shoots modern dramas very well, such as "The Dark Knight", "The Man-Han Banquet", "The Party of Two Dragons" and so on.


    He is a guy who is obsessed with special effects. He has always been separated from New Art City in his heart. He just wanted to see the results of "Orphan" overseas.


    When I thought about it, "Orphan" will be released in May. It doesn''t matter if I make another one. If it works, I can join the team. If it doesn''t work, I can get together and break up. I asked: "What is the script about?"


    Chen Qi immediately spoke briefly.


    "Who is the hero?"


    "Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui are both newcomers."


    "Who is that goddess? She is the key."


    "It''s done, I found Xiao Fangfang!"


    Um?


    Tsui Hark''s eyes lit up, this casting was great, and he asked again: "Where is the heroine?"


    "I was just going to find it."


    "Are you going to look for it?"


    "Yeah, go next door! You get busy first, I''m leaving."


    He left as soon as he said so.


    I called Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng, walked out of the set without even taking a car, walked a little way to the north, and arrived at Shaw Brothers'' territory.


    There was a security guard at the door. From a distance, I saw three inexplicable guys wandering over. I didn''t know what they were talking about. They came closer and asked, "Sir, is there something wrong? This is a studio and outsiders are not allowed to enter."


    "Neighbors don''t count as outsiders, right?"


    "Neighbor?"


    "Next door, is Fang Yihua here?"


    "next door-!"


    This person suddenly realized, isn''t he a leftist? !


    "Sir, who are you?"


    "Chen Qi!"


    "Wait a moment, I''ll go ask for instructions!"


    The other party entered his small room, made a phone call, and looked outside while talking. Chen Qi waited boredly. You said this guy doesn''t look down on others, so let me slap him in the face or something.


    Not long after, he came out and opened the door: "Mr. Chen, please come in!"


    "Thanks!"


    It was the first time that Chen Qi came to his neighbor''s house and went through the door. Looking around, he saw that the area here was larger than that of the left wing. More than a dozen studios were neatly arranged. The post-production area, main building, canteen, and dormitories were all in good order. The style of the movie kingdom back then could still be seen.


    This large-scale studio system is similar to domestic studios in some respects. Production is also planned every year, wages are fixed, major directors have their own teams, and food, drink, and toilet are included.


    The factory area was full of workers, and actors were running around in period costumes.


    When Chen Qi arrived at the main building, there was already a receptionist standing at the door, guiding him up to an office, where his heroine was sitting...ah! That''s weird.


    Sitting there was the head of Shaw Brothers'' production department and Run Run Shaw''s concubine. Yes, she hadn''t become a regular employee yet.


    Fang Yihua!


    (No more...)
